{{quote|''From there Salinger went on to military school and was eventually drafted into [[World War 2]]. He was on Utah Beach on D.Day. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and liberated a concentration camp. All the while, writing short stories with themes of: alienation, depression, and loss of innocence. What an imagination.''|''[[The Colbert Report]]'', [http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/49qji6/colbert-s-book-club---better-know-a-salinger (Better Know a Salinger)]}}
